What have been some of your life's unpleasant experiences?

In the UK, we have a computer test (theory test) and then a practical driving test.

Driving test in Canada seems harder than the one in UK.

Yeah. More bureaucracy/red tapes in Canada.

My cousin recently got married and moved to Canada.

She failed her driving test

Depends where in Canada. I have seen test centers run by indians who will pass anyone with atrocious driving skills. Brampton is one example.

I see.

Did she give the test in Toronto (or another major city)? It is generally harder to pass in big cities because roads are super-busy.

One strategy for passing is to give the test outside of big cities. I gave my test in a small city called Peterborough. It is easier there and I passed.

In Toronto yes. Or I assume so, her husband lived in Toronto before marriage and currently she is on a spouse visa but will eventually transition to a passport. They married recently like 5 months ago.

So I assume their still in Toronto

Being broke and starving. Being dumped by someone i thought i was gonna marry.

I have come a long way.

In year 2017, I was close to personal bankruptcy. I had a student loan of $55K, credit card loan of $11.5K, car loan of $10.5K, and around $6K of other loans. I was contempleting bankruptcy.

However, I managed to clear all of my debts by 2023 by the grace of Allah (SWT). I have been debt-free since January of 2023.

I also got rejected by my high school crush. I was attracted to her for 6-8 years. At that time, I wasn't very religious. Anyway, the rejection doesn't hurt me anymore because I have become religious and she doesn't wear any hijab. I am not sure if she prays 5 times; if the lady doesn't pray, I don't want her.

Death of my grandmother and grandfather who i was deeply attached to. I fell into a depression and took me a while to recover.

I experienced this.

While I wasn't depressed like you, I felt bad and I regularly pray for my deceased paternal grandparents. Probably the only 2 relatives who I genuinely care about.
